PR for less than 5 years - how do I show that I will be able to meet residency obligations?

This is a really old thread but has anyone been in the same situation and applied for a PRTD and just recently become a permanent resident and has left Canada just with an ECORP. Did they ask more documents to prove RO since you just became a resident. I just got my ECORP Nov 14, I have to leave canada and go back to my home country and will be returning in 2 months to resume my residency. Im hesitant to leave and apply for this PRTD not being able to provide the documents they are requesting or they will see I just become a PR.
Your best option is actually to have someone send you your PR card if you have family remaining in Canada

I was thinking that. Because really they just mail it to the address I put in the portal and there's nothing else I need to do once I receive it dont have to confirm with them or sign or whatever or do I?

They send out PR cards with Canada Post regular mail.

were you able to get a new PR card with your situation? I am in a similar situation. I have been PR for just 1 year and I need to apply for a PR card since I lost it.
You are fine to apply for a new PR card if you lost it as long as you are inside Canada.
Since you've only been PR for 1 year, you "will be able to meet" RO. So you will not have any issue apply for a new replacement card.

I realize this is an old thread but KPCanada ...were you able to get a new PR card with your situation? I am in a similar situation. I have been PR for just 1 year and I need to apply for a PR card since I lost it.
Just read the instructions and apply for a replacement.

Since you have not been out of Canada for more than 1095 days (a mathematical impossibility since you've only been a PR for one year), you are still in compliance.

This is clear on the form because they ask if you've been out of Canada more than 1095 days, and your travel history will show that you've not.

I am in a similar situation. Do they send an email or notify us through the PR Portal when we have EOPR and are sending the card. How long does it take approx to receive the card from his point

So you also became PR 1 year ago? And never got your PR card?
